9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the predefined logical combination rule is configured to trigger a display change in the table in response to two differing value entries in two differing columns.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the predefined logical combination rule between the first column and the second column is enabled to be altered.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein after creation of the predefined logical combination rule, the predefined logical combination rule is enabled to be cancelled.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein altering the display in the table includes establishing a third column for storing data associated with a trigger of the predefined logical combination rule.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein altering the display in the table includes altering a display of the second column.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein altering the display in the table includes altering a display of the first column and a display of the second column.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein altering the display of the first column and the display of the second column includes presenting an indication that the first column and the second column are linked.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise enabling replacement of the identified first column heading for the first column with an updated column heading for the first column; defining an updated column combination based on the updated column heading and the identified second column heading selection; analyzing the plurality of predefined column heading combinations contained in the memory to determine when the updated particular column combination corresponds to a predefined column heading combination from among the plurality of predefined column heading combinations contained in the memory; disassociating the predefined logical combination rule with the first column and the second column in the table upon determination that the updated particular column combination does not correspond to any predefined combination contained in the memory; and further altering the display in the table, wherein further altering the display in the table includes unlinking the first column and the second column.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the indication is an icon.
